prometrium

1129232 tn?1360800358 HI Kris, Welcome to my world. You can find some of my other posts in the TTC 40 group. YES!!! I have gained about 14 pounds over 1.5 years of fertility drugs. I did 13 cycles of fermara with some cycles using HCG and prometrium. I had 6 IUI's and no success. I am so upset that I have all this weight on and still no baby. The doctor decided in Feb. that since the meds didn't work, I should stop taking them.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am on Chlomid 100 mg. I have been hungry all the time. I think one possibility is I have cut down my gym visit and running so weight gain is inevitable (don't want to take any chances).
Avatar n tn I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.
Avatar f tn Anyone else experiencing weight gaine while TTC. I know have bit a bit stressed and maybe depressed somewhat over all this, but I have gained 5lbs in one month! I feel so sad all the time and I'm not as enthused about exercising:( Is this common? I have to get the 5lbs off...I can't gain another 5 next month!!!

Avatar f tn Hi, I have been taking Topomax for migraines for 1 1/2 yrs with very good results, in the last 6-8 months I have had very irregular menstrual bleeding ( cycles of 11-15 days) along with some more symptoms that suggest that something is off ( brittle nails, tiredness, sweat episodes, mood swings, weight gain especially around the abdominal area ). I am under some stress on a daily basis (small children, work shifts with long hours waking up at 3 a.m on some days and sometimes coming home at 6 a.
Avatar f tn Stress is certainly one. Weight gain or loss is another. If you were my patient, I would give you a prescription for Prometrium to take for 5 days. I like Prometrium because if you are not pregnant, it will bring on your period. If you are pregnant, and all the tests are somehow wrong, nothing at all will happen. I would then ask you to wait and see what happens with the next few cycles.
Avatar n tn 10. Doctor decided to run Estradiol level and thyroid tests to see if that was causing weight gain. Was wondering what you thought of these results Estradiol on day 3 of cycle 23 T4 total 5.5 ref 6.1-12.2 T3 total0.8 ref 0.9-1.8 TSH 1.56 ref 0.34 5.60 Do you think thyroid or estrogen replacement is necessary? Thanks for the help hate running all these miles and not seeing a difference.
Avatar f tn m going to wait to take my 3rd pregnancy test, in the light of your comment here, but I am displaying multiple symptoms of early pregnancy - missed period, nausea, frequent urination (with more secretion), extreme weepiness, backache, headaches, weight gain on tummy and breasts (which are sore - very much the way they get before period and I think the areola are darker).
Avatar f tn I had 2 miscarriages in the past and with this one i went on prometrium and baby aspirin although nothing was ever diagnosed either. i did not experience any bleeding as a side effect of the prometrium though. have you had a scan yet?
Avatar f tn I had an IUI a few weeks ago and then started taking prometrium for ten days. I finished up last Wednesday so it has been 5 days. How long until I should expect my period after my last prometrium?
Avatar f tn I never ever gained weight. I think what triggered the weight gain for me was stress. I believe I have always had pcos since I wouldn't get a period for several months. But, I think what made the side effects so bad was the sudden stress. Now I am about 195lbs and I can't seem to shake the weight and it has been very very difficult for us to get pregnant.
182352 tn?1231183410 I took 400mg of prometrium a day and shots every other day for the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy.
Avatar n tn I still am not sure if I am pregnant, I have a lot of the symptoms (Breast tender, nipples slightly brown and big, frequent urination, emotional, morning/afternoon sickness, weight gain and some more). I have been pregnant in the past 2004 and lost the baby in 6 weeks. I should be approx 3 weeks and "dying" to know if I am actually pregnant or not. most people think I am. I am having pretty bad abdominal cramping and not sure if this is normal??
453798 tn?1262633421 Does anyone take estrace and prometrium? I have googled information on those, but not finding what I want.
Avatar f tn I have never engaged in any sexual activities and do not understand how I got this disease. I took Prometrium in the past to regulate my menstruate cycle. I did some research on this drug and one of side effects for this drug is Herpes. Is it possible this medicine could cause a false positive or a positive blood results for Herpes Type 2?
1318306 tn?1276180824 m taking Prometrium vaginally. When should I use the prometrium before or after. Should he wear a condom. Will the prometrium do anything to him? anyone have any advice.
Avatar f tn I went through an ovulation induction cycle and was put on prometrium (progesterone) to support a healthy lining. I am now 20 days past ovulation, no period, and three negative home pregnancy tests (it is now day 33 of my cycle and I am typically a 28 day cycle, like clockwork). I talked to the doctor today who told me to stop the prometrium and I should expect my period in 2-3 days.
Avatar f tn Has any one taken Prometrium for abnormal bleeding? and if so did this medicine really works??.Thanks for any advice, it's very much appreciated.
Avatar f tn I have had a migraine every day starting at around noon and lasting until I go to bed. I took prometrium prior to pregnancy for period induction which i took for 10 days and i would get a "withdrawl" migraine for a day or two. Have any of you ladies experienced this? I'm really getting sick of taking tylenol every 4 hours but my head throbs so bad i can't see straight if i don't. I called my doc today and of course he's out of the office.
Avatar n tn They only took my progesterone levels once after I started the Prometrium to make sure it was theraputic and it was in the 20's don't remember exactly. But they haven't taken it again. But I've had 4 ultrasounds where we have seen baby's heartbeat and everything is well.
Avatar n tn I recently had an ultrasound done, cause i have been spotting alot ,swollen belly, painful intercourse, back pain, nausea, tired all the time, weight gain, abd pain, discharge, smelling odfor, and soft stools, the doctor said that their could be an endometrial polyp and that there was some thickening in the uteris wall and poss a dermoid cyst.
864502 tn?1382640699 The 1st set of pills made me gain weight and the 2nd set made me sick. So now my cycles are 2-5 years apart. The last cycle I had was in May 2007. (before then May 2002, December 1999 and back in the early 90's) My question is #1 what medicine is good for this? #2 Can I still have a baby IF I get this under control? #3 Is it any ladies that is going through the same or went through what I have went through and have kids or a baby?
